Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the f/c designation mean on the CR 134178 shaft?
A: The f/c designation stands for full coverage. The CR 134178 is a load wheel axle shaft with full coverage (sealed bore or extended hub design) to provide additional protection against dirt and moisture infiltration compared to standard open shafts.
Q: What equipment is the CR 134178 compatible with?
A: The CR 134178 full-coverage shaft fits Crown electric pallet jacks and walkie stackers from the 1500 and 2000 series. It is also compatible with equivalent Toyota and Raymond models that use matching carriage specifications and wheel bore dimensions.
Q: What is the difference between the CR 134177 and CR 134178?
A: The CR 134178 has full coverage (sealed hub or bore protection) whereas the CR 134177 is a standard open shaft design. The CR 134178 offers better protection in wet or dirty warehouse environments and cold storage applications. Both are hardened steel with corrosion-resistant finish.
Q: What are the shaft diameter and length of the CR 134178?
A: The CR 134178 shaft diameter is typically 1 inch (25 mm). Length varies from 18 inches to 36 inches depending on carriage width. Verify your carriage assembly width and wheel-to-wheel spacing before ordering.
Q: How long does a CR 134178 shaft typically last?
A: In normal warehouse service, a CR 134178 full-coverage shaft lasts 5-7 years. The sealed design extends lifespan compared to open shafts when used in wet, cold storage, or dusty environments. Failure symptoms include grinding noises, reduced rotation speed, or visible corrosion under the hub cover.
